2 - POWER SUPPLY
Both the AREP & PMG excitation systems are controlled by the AVR.
2.1 - AREP excitation system
With AREP excitation, the electronic AVR is powered by two auxiliary windings which are independent of the voltage sensing circuit. The first winding has a voltage proportional
to the alternator main voltage (Shunt characteristic), the second one has a voltage proportional to the stator current (compound characteristic : Booster effect). The power supply voltage is rectified and filtered before being used by the AVR monitoring transistor. The rotating switch should be in the AREP position (see 3.2.3).

2.2 - PMG excitation system

With PMG excitation, a permanent magnet generator (PMG) added to the alternator supplies the AVR with voltage which is independent of the main alternator winding. These two excitation principles provide the machine with a short-circuit current overload capacity of 3 IN for 10 s.
The AVR monitors the alternator output voltage by adjusting the excitation current. The rotating switch should be in the PMG position (see 3.2.3).

3 - TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 3.1 - Electrical characteristics

- maximum power supply: 150V - 50/60 Hz - Rated overload current: 10 A - 10 s - Electronic protection: - In the case of a short-circuit, the excitation current is reduced to a value less than 1A after 10 s - In the event of loss of voltage reference, the excitation current is reduced to a value less than 1A after 1s for AREP/SHUNT, 10 s for PMG. - In the event of overexcitation, the current is reduced as indicated in the next diagram (see 3.2.1.4). - Fuses: F1 on X1 and F2 on Z2 10A, 250V. - Voltage sensing 0-110 V terminals = 95 to 140 V 0-220 V terminals = 170 to 260 V 0-380 V terminals = 340 to 528 V For other voltages, a transformer should be used. - Voltage regulation: 0.5%. - Current sensing: (parallel operation): input S1, S2 intended for 1 C.T. < 2.5 VA cl1, secondary 1 A or 5 A.
WARNING
The allowed adjustment range is 5%; when the setting exceeds these limits, please check that it is conform with the power table. 3.2.1.2 - Quadrature droop: Quadrature droop adjustment via potentiometer P4 within a range : - from 0 to 8% with a PF=0.8 for 400V applications. - From 0 to 14% with a PF=0.8 for 240V applications. - From 0 to 8% for 110V applications with a step-up transformer (ratio of 4) placed on the voltage reference. The potentiometer P4 has a non linear response. Then, when a 1A secondary CT is connected the effective range starts from the the second 1/3 of P4 range and in the case of a 5A secondary CT the effective range starts from the first 1/3. When a 5A CT is used, the adjustment range is higher, so P4 must be set to the first 1/4 (anti-clockwise) and then progressively increase it.
3.2 - Configurations:
3.2.1 - Settings 3.2.1.1 - Voltage Voltage adjustment via potentiometer P1 in the ranges described in the table below: For 50 and 60 Hz High range Medium range Low range Max. Un 530 V Un 252 V Un 140 V
WARNING
The CT must be connected. 3.2.1.3 - Stability: Stability adjustment via potentiometer P2. Selection of rotating switch according to the machine type and the response time as indicated in paragraph 3.2.3. 3.2.1.4 - Excitation limitation: Excitation limitation adjustment via potentiometer P3 as described below. The excitation current limitation threshold in steady state is set by a potentiometer at 110% of the rated value. The adjustment is made by the operator during the on-load test at rated power by tuning the potentiometer.

WARNING
The limitation threshold must be adjustable between 1 and 5.5 A. The genset breaker must be open during the short circuit. If the genset is restarted in short circuit, there is a excitation build up during 10s again at the maximum value. When the excitation current exceeds this value, a counter is activated at the speed of one record per second for 90 s. When this time is elapsed, the current is reduced to the value of the rated excitation current. If in the meantime the excitation current drops below the threshold value, the counter counts down at the same speed. Operation between 3 and 6 In when short-circuited: The excitation current ceiling during a
short-circuit equals 2.9 times the fixed threshold when setting the permitted excitation ceiling in continuous operation. When the threshold is exceeded for a period = 10 s the current is reduced to a value between 0.5 and 0.7 A (shutdown). In all operating conditions the maximum excitation current must be limited to 9 A 0.5 A. Overrun indications: One green LED: - Lights up when the excitation current is below the continuous operation threshold It signals the AVR normal operation. - Turns off when the excitation current ceiling used to obtain short-circuit operation is reached and when the excitation current is reduced to the shutdown value. - Flashes when the over excitation counter is decrementing.

3.3.2.2 - Soft voltage recovery function During load impacts, the function helps the genset to return to its rated speed faster with a gradual increase in voltage according to the principle: - If the speed drops between 46 and 50 Hz (in 50Hz operation), the rated voltage is recovered by following a fast gradient. - If the speed drops below 46 Hz, since the engine needs more help, the voltage follows a slow gradient as it returns to the reference value.
U Drop N 46 Hz Drop N > 46 Hz
3.3.2 - LAM (Load Acceptance Module) characteristics 3.3.2.1 - Voltage drop The LAM system is integrated in the AVR. As standard it is active. Role of the LAM: On application of a load, the genset rotation speed decreases. When it falls below the preset frequency threshold, the LAM causes the voltage to drop proportionately to the frequency (LAM1) or to the active power (LAM2) depending the the rotating switch position. This reduces the active load scale applied until the speed returns to its rated value. Hence the LAM can be used either to reduce the speed variation (frequency) and its duration for a given applied load, or to increase the applied load possible for one speed variation (turbo-charged engine). To avoid voltage oscillations, the trip threshold for the LAM function should be set approximately 2 Hz below the rated frequency.

The various adjustments during tests must be made by a qualified engineer. It is essential that the drive speed specified on the nameplate is reached before commencing adjustment. After operational testing, replace all access panels or covers. The AVR is used to make any adjustments to the machine. 4.2.1 - Setting up the R450
d) Voltage potentiometer P1 at minimum, fully anti-clockwise. e) Stability potentiometer P2 around 1/3 in from the anti-clockwise stop. f) Start the engine and set its speed to a frequency of 48 Hz for 50 Hz, or 58 for 60 Hz. g) Set the output voltage to the desired value using P1. - Rated voltage UN for solo operation (eg. 400 V) - Or UN + 2 to 4% for parallel operation with C.T. (eg. 410 V -) If the voltage oscillates, use P2 to make adjustments (try both directions), observing the voltage between E+ and E- (approx. 10 V D.C.). The best response time is obtained at the limit of the instability. If no stable position can be obtained, try selecting the fast position. h) Check LAM operation: depending on the rotating switch selection.
WARNING
Before using the AVR, make sure that the rotating switches have been correctly configured with AREP/SHUNT or PMG excitation a) Initial potentiometer settings (see table below)

i) Vary the frequency (speed) around 48 or 58 Hz according to the operating frequency, and check the change in voltage from that observed previously (~ 15%). j) Readjust the speed of the genset to its rated no-load value. Adjustments in parallel operation Before starting work on the alternator, make sure that the speed droop is identical for all engines. k) Preset for parallel operation (with C.T. connected to S1, S2) - Potentiometer P4 (quadrature droop) in 1/4 position in the case of 5A CT and at 1/2 position in the case of 1A CT. Apply the rated load (PF = 0.8 inductive). The voltage should drop by 2 to 3% (400 V). If it increases, check that neither V and W nor S1 and S2 have been reversed. l) The no-load voltages should be identical for all the alternators intended to run in parallel. - Couple the machines in parallel. - By adjusting the speed, try to obtain 0 kW power exchange. - By altering the voltage setting P1 on one of the machines, try to cancel (or minimise) the current circulating between the machines. - From now on, do not touch the voltage settings. m) Apply the available load (the setting is only correct if a reactive load is available) - By altering the speed, match the kW (or divide the rated power of the units proportionally) - By altering the quadrature droop potentiometer P4, match or divide the currents. 4.2.2 - Max. excitation adjustment (excitation ceiling) In standard setting, the potentiometer P3 is in maximum position.
However, for applications requiring an overload protection (see 3.2.1.4), the excitation ceiling must be adjusted by using the following procedures in AREP and PMG. Method 1 : -Connect the AVR to the alternator -apply load to 110% of rated machine rated at PF=0.8, the green led is on and the red one is off. -record the excitation current value -adjust P3 until obtaining the red led flashing, the green one is always on. -decrease the load to 100% and make sure that the red led is off. - Increase the load at 115%, check that the red LED flashes during 90 seconds and that the excitation current is brought back to the above adjusted value (Iex adjusted). Method 2 : The rated excitation current (see machine plate) must be multiplied by 1.1 and the obtained value is used to set the potentiometer P3 at the right position. The following table must be used. Position of P3 8h 9h 10h 11h 12h 13h 14h 15h 16h I exc (A) 1 1.55 1.95 2.5 3.15 3.65 4.25 4.7 5.15

P3
NB: In the case of a permanent short-circuit, the excitation current must reach 2.9 x Iex adjusted, during 1 second in AREP or 10 seconds in PMG and shuts down to a value less than 1A. 15

When the excitation current is set to the rated value, a voltage dip is observed in excitation current limit when the limitation is activated and the current limit is reached. 4.2.3 - Special type of use
The exciter is switched off by disconnecting the AVR power supply (1 wire on each auxiliary winding) - contact rating 16 A 250 V A.C. Connection is identical for resetting the AVR internal protection.
WARNING
The excitation circuit E+, E- must not be left open when the machine is running: this will irreparably damage the AVR. 4.2.3.1 - R450 (SHUNT) field weakening

4.3 - Electrical faults

Fault Action Measurements The alternator builds up and its voltage is still correct when the battery is removed Check/Cause - Lack of residual magnetism
No voltage at Connect a new battery The alternator builds up but its no load on of 4 to 12 V to terminals voltage does not reach the rated start-up E- and E+, respecting value when the battery is removed the polarity, for 2 to 3 seconds The alternator builds up but its voltage disappears when the battery is removed
- Check the connection of the voltage reference to the AVR - Faulty diodes - Armature short-circuit - Faulty AVR - Field windings disconnected - Revolving field coil open circuit. Check the resistance Check the AVR connections (AVR may be faulty) - Field windings short-circuited - Rotating diodes burnt out - Revolving field coil short-circuited - Check the resistance Increase the drive speed (Do not touch the AVR voltage pot. (P1) before running at the correct speed) - Faulty AVR - 1 faulty diode - Check the speed: possibility of cyclic irregularity - Loose connections - Faulty AVR - Speed too low when on load (or U/F knee-point set too high) - Check the speed (or U/F knee-point set too high) - Faulty rotating diodes - Short-circuit in the revolving field coil. Check the resistance - Faulty exciter armature
Voltage too low
Check the drive speed
Correct speed
Speed too low
Voltage too high Voltage oscillations
Adjust AVR voltage potentiometer Adjust AVR stability potentiometer
Adjustment ineffective
If no effect: try normal/fast recovery modes
Voltage correct at no load and too low when on load (*)
Run at no load and check the voltage between E+ and E- on the AVR
Voltage between E+ and EAREP/PMG < 10 V Voltage between E+ and EAREP/PMG > 15 V
(*) Caution: For single-phase operation, check that the sensing wires coming from the AVR are correctly connected to the operating terminals. Voltage disappears during operation (**) Check the AVR, the surge suppressor, the rotating diodes, and replace any defective components The voltage does not return to the - Exciter winding open circuit rated value - Faulty exciter armature - Faulty AVR - Revolving field coil open circuit or short-circuited
(**) Caution: Internal protection may be activated (overload, open circuit, short-circuit)
Caution: After operational testing or troubleshooting, replace all access panels or covers.
